| Description of the problem | When i was driving my 2005 grand cherokee, the vehicle turned itself off causing me to lose braking and steering power. The ignition recall is what is going on however chrysler/jeep does not have the parts to fix the problem nor are the offering any possible solutions. They are refusing a rental car due to the issue not being life threatening. However, having a vehicle shut itself off while driving is very life threatening to myself, passengers in the vehicle and innocent bystanders around me on the road. I am highly dissatisfied with chrysler. |
